The Arizona sentinel., 1887-10-08

across the cupola toward the opposite side, Some thing in her method of walking raised question in my mind as looked down on her from my posi- tion on the ladder. It was solved by the time she reached a window. She put out one of her little white hands and rested it on the window sash. Al the same time the young man eH claimed, Miss, CIarat What are you doing?'
 "She made no answer, and he sprang toward her.
 'Clarar he cried, in an anxious manner, what is it2 Why did you come up here so late? Let me assist you down, please
 ''She turned toward him, and sud- den change came over her face. It was one of confusion and surprise. 1 don't know how you would describe it.
 Where am I?' she cried, and then she gazed about the cupola in strange sort of way. Before the other person could speak she rushed into his arms, which were quickly outstretched to catch her. The pretty little blonde was a somnambulist.
 T threw myself on the bed, and must have fallen asleep, she said, ex- citedly.
 1.-The gentleman-for he behaved like an honorable fellow through it all-endeavored to sooth her and per- suaded her to go down to the lower regions, but she grew hysterical and he could do nothing with her.
 "1 saw you go up the stairs as I was going to my room,' he said. I could not understand why you went up toward the cupola, and followed you. Thank God, Idid. Come below, Clara. Do come
 ''She answered him by nervous sort of laugh. In another instant there was the sound of some one rushing up the ladder, and the other admirer, his face furious with passion, sprang into the cupola. He shouted out;
 "'Miss -, all is over between you and me. Any girl who will meet a man in this place at this time of night can't be my wife. As for you, sir, you must settle with me for your conduct Then he jumped on the other fellow like a tiger could tell by his utter ance that he was full of champa gne and that he was crazed with jealousy.
 1.-The fury of that onset nearly threw the attacked party to the floor, but he struggled in self-defense, and the two were locked in moment in a sort of catch-as- catch-can embrace. The girl was dazed at first, and then she gave little cry and sank on the floor in a dead faint. The young men, who were too much enga ged to notice me, charged and foundered about the cupola like two dogs in a fight. It was rough and tumble, hit and gouge on the part of the assailant and resist as best he might on the part of the other. The two got on their feet, when a sudden idea seemed to seize the furious young man, who was frantic with excite ment. Getting a fresh hold, he dragged his rival toward the open window which looks down on that steep roof of the T. there.
 "Out you goT he said. as he panted from the violence of his exertion.
 Neither one of the pair was what you would call powerful. The fellow who was assailed, especially, was like many other city young men of the time; he was better fitted for a waltz than such contest. The other was clearly stronger, and his rage made him overwhelmingly so. Quicker than I am telling you of what they did, he had jerked the weaker one to the win dow.
 "'Out you go!' he again exclaimed. The other one, who was pretty well winded, grasped the side of the win dow casing there and held on, strug- gling hard to prevent his grasp being torn away. But it was useless, and in another moment he would have gone out to stop only when he reached the ground of the back yard, away down there.
 ''I had watched the whole affair with a strange fascination. I had kept quiet until the time had come when I could do so no longer. sat on that step up yonder It is about eight or nine feet above the floor. I gave leap as saw the hold of the young fellow give away. 1 landed with crash on the boards at the foot of the ladder and seized the lunatic around the waist The next thing he knew was that he was on the floor on the opposite side of the cupola. am pret- ty strong now but then was able to have handled two or three such fel- lows.
 "As stood over him I said: If you stir l will throw you outr and then l turned to the other. He half leaned gainst the window, with one hand pressed over his heart.
 "'Pray take her upr was all he could utter, so exhausted was he.
 T picked up the girl, and, telling the crazy man that if he stirred from the spot from which he had picked himself up would pound the life out of him, motioned to the other one to go ahead and lifted the sleep-walker to the stairway. It was hard work to get her down, but we carried her to boy. friandc I caw tha vounn man
